Well here it goes guy's. Yesterday I was racing against a honda, on first gear at the take off, i smoked my tires and I was still at about 6000 rpms then all of a sudden my car started sputtering, and chocking. I stopped the car and started right up, but it the know it idles at 1000 rpm then shoots up to 2000 rpm, but when I try to rev it up, it just sputters and seems to want to shut off. I shift gear and the car takes off but sputtering and pushing. I thought it was the turbo, but I still here the Woosh after the shifting gears. What happend to my car.......please any info i would appreciate it. i HAVE A 99 passat 1.8 turbo.

Sounds like you are running a piston short. Pull the head and take a look.
